Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Nassau County:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nassau County Department of Human Services Office for the Aging | (516) 227-8972 | 60 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, Uniondale, NY 11553 | The Nassau County Department of Human Services Office for the Aging is a contact point for several services for seniors in the area. The goal of the Department is to provide older adults in the county with the services they need to remain independent at home for as long as possible. It operates more than 70 programs for the elderly, including health services and insurance counseling, and advocates on behalf of the elderly. |
| Social Adult Day Care | (516) 227-8900 | 60 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, Uniondale, NY 11553 | Social Adult Day Care services in Nassau County are county-based programs that give frail seniors a chance to socialize and receive nutrition in a group setting. Seniors can come to the day services program during the day, where caring staff can provide assistance as needed, and then return home at night. These services are without a fee, but seniors and their families are encouraged to donate if they can. |
| Nassau County In-Home Services for the Elderly | (515) 227-8900 | 60 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, Uniondale, NY 11553 | Adults aged 60 and older who need help with the activities of daily living can get assistance through the county so they can remain living at home. In-Home Services for the Elderly Program provides care coordination as well as in-home care as needed for qualified seniors. Each senior in the program gets an individualized care plan based on a personalized assessment. |
| New York State Wellness in Nutrition Program Home Delivered Meals | (516) 227-8930 | 60 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, Uniondale, NY 11553 | Nassau County participates in the state’s Wellness in Nutrition Program, which delivers healthy meals to older adults who cannot make their own food or get to congregate meal locations. To qualify, seniors must be unable to do their own cooking or shopping and have no local support to meet nutrition needs. |
| STAR Program | (516) 571-1500 | 240 County Road, Mineola, NY, 11501 | The STAR Program is a property tax reduction that helps seniors in Nassau County who are income qualified. This program may exempt these qualified seniors from school property taxes on their owner-occupied primary residences. To qualify, seniors must be age 65 or older and make less than $88,050 a year. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
